Project 1: Uninformed Search: CS4013
Project 1: Uninformed Search: CS4013
Criteria Ratings Pts
BFS/DFS
CS4013 students need only to implement ONE of BFS or DFS.
threshold: pts
40 pts Full Marks correctly implementing search. A correct player will move to the target beacons as efficiently as possible . The ship will rarely run into obstacles, other ships, or bullets. Full credit requires FULL code documentation explaining what each function does. The top of each java file should also contain a 2-3 sentence description of everything that java file does
35 pts Minor mistakes
30 pts Multiple minor mistakes or missing documentation
20 pts One major mistake or only implementing one method for 5013
15 pts Several major mistakes
5 pts An agent that does something (but does not search)
0 pts No Marks

Graphics
Correctly drawing graphics that enable you to debug your search and that help us to grade it. This means you should display your graph either all at once (if you initialize it that way) or step-by-step as it is built. You should also show the path found by BFS/DFS that your ship will traverse

Replanning
Dynamically replanning as needed in an efficient manner. This CANNOT be replanning every time step
threshold: pts
10 pts Full Marks
5 pts Replanning only when target reached

Good coding practices
We will randomly choose from one of the following good coding practices to grade for these 15 points. Note that this will be included on every project. Are your files well commented? Are your variable names descriptive (or are they all i, j, and k)? Do you make good use of classes and methods or is the entire project in one big flat file?
threshold: pts
15 pts Full Marks Well commented code, descriptive variables names or making good use of classes and methods
8 pts Missing some aspect of good coding practices
0 pts No Marks

Writeup part 1
Describe how you implemented search (gridded, roadmap, etc) and how you dealt with the dynamics of the environment
threshold: pts
